@freemo Why would instances block us? What's there reasoning?

@smodo Also I really should get a mastodon client with translation abilities, or copy and paste into a translator.

@smodo So true. Noticing as I'm reading the federated timeline that I'm truly not a polymath.

@freemo How do you do this? Guess I sure picked the right instance then. Also, what's your ham call? I'm K5NER

It would be kind of cool to dip into local timelines of random instances.

@zkline That's what I'm understanding from my responses. I think it's freaking awesome if yo're on a small intsance. I got random interaction, the likes I'd never get with Twitter.

@radehi At least my typos are delicious delectable, and interesting. I use a screen reader so I had no idea as fetiverse sounds the same as fetaverse or fediverse. Maybe we should make a fetiverse for fetishists? Maybe it exists already :D.

@Solarspies I'm not a huge facebook user myself. I can tell you that since joining qoto, I'm really liking the fact that you can join these small instances and find people hwo have similar interests.

Stupid question: I'm seeing conflicting static / intereference regarding editing posts/toots. Is editing possible?

So here's my #introduction and shockingly, it should not have typos in it. I'm a chemical engineer by training, now working in IT accessibility. I'm hoping that I can get back into science and engineering as it's most definitely my first love as far as work. Really enjoying reading Mastodon and looking forward to getting to know others in the fetaverse.

@Solarspies Welcome. I'm new to mastodon and qoto as well, but I like the fact that qoto is small, and that the instance gives me an interesting timeline, and interesting people to read.

I'm currently on a mastodon instance of scientists and engineers. I'm hoping that reading the local timeline might convince me that it's OK to get back into engineering again. Tired of IT and accessibility for real, and I'm ready for a change I think.
